Halloween Viewing Guide: 5 new horror shows to watch this October

Helstrom

Platform: Hulu

Release Date: Oct. 16

Cast: Tom Austen, Sydney Lemmon, Elizabeth Marvel, Robert Wisdom, and June Carryl

Premise: Helstrom is one of only two Marvel projects dropping this year (along with the upcoming WandaVision on Disney+), and is based on the characters Daimon and Satana Hellstrom from the supernatural Son of Satan Marvel comic book series.

This adaptation sees the Helstrom siblings as children of a powerful serial killer who grows up to hunt the worst of humanity. Things get even crazier when a series of new killings lead Daimon and Ana to rely on the mentally unstable mind of their institutionalized mother. While the show is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is depicted as a standalone story.
